Cric by Future Sound Systems (This synth is bonkers)

video upload by Sarah Belle Reid

"An in-depth walkthrough and demo of Cric, made by Future Sound Systems. Cric is a self-contained synthesizer with fully modular signal routing. It uses a pin matrix for patching between modules, leading to some unusual and exciting workflows and sounds.

In this video we’ll take a look at everything that’s inside of Cric and how it all works, and I’ll share some of my favorite approaches to using Cric as a performance instrument and sound design tool. And of course, I’ll also share lots of sounds and patches along the way."
